I've finished modeling the torso upgrade. I've put a lot of thought into these parts and I'm pretty happy with how they've turned out. I've got some shoulder bells sketched out that will attach to these guys so that the arms don't looks so weird. But that's going to be part of the "Omega" set.

I hope you guys like

Neato!

Now you just have to redesign a waist, legs, arms, and hands, and you've pretty much made yourself an entirely new building toy mini-fig.

Actually, slightly shorter limbs might work really well with your slightly shorter torso to make mini-bots.

Hmmn... something to consider... (the mini bots)

yeah... I'm getting closer and closer to just building my own figure haha.

The Omega Kit will do away with the stock arms actually and reuse the shin upgrades as upper arms. It should be quite beefy It'll also have new forearm parts, feet, hand parts... and of course the first 3rd party Kreon Helmet!

I am QUITE excited about the things you're promising for the future!
I was a little skeptical, but I took a chance and I'm glad I did. I just received two of these kits last night, a black and a white, and I couldn't be happier with them.
I'll post pictures of my best creation so far later on when I get the chance, but... wow. Keep up the good work!

Oh wow man, thank you! That's totally awesome, I can't wait to see some pics of my designs out "in the wild"

When they arrived, did they have the pop hinge fingers or the ones where you have to hollow out the tube for the paper clip axle? I had updated the file right after you had ordered with the new finger joint design so I'm not sure which you got.

If you got the pop hinge ones, how do they fit? do they work out okay? I haven't gotten my prototypes for that design yet.

I'll begin working on a Halo Transformer Warthog when they come in.

Dude, that sounds awesome! you planning on using megabloks parts for it?

Yarp. If I really like them, I'll order a second set to do a covenant transformer. Either off of a banshee or a revenant.

I don't know if the upgrades will make them big enough but I'd love to see you try

The set is currently UNTESTED but it's available now for those that feel daring. I've added ZERO markup until I have a tested version in hand and I'm happy with it and Shapeways has a promotion right now that if you order it, you get free shipping!

I wanted to make this available to you guys even if untested so you could take advantage of the deals they have going on.
